A Few Books to Adore

January 17, 2012

Hello World! I love books. If I had all the time in the world I would have my nose in a book. I love getting lost for hours in the pages of a good book. Not only am I moved by the stories that are written, I’m moved by pictures that paint a story without words. A book with pictures will always get my attention. Well, for Christmas, my Mother-in-law, Joan gave me some lovely books I’ve have been yearning for. Yes, I yearn for a good book. If you don’t mind, I would love to share them with you.

First up is the Blue book by House Beautiful.

Here are some shots from the inside.

We all know how I love stripes.

Next up is The World of Madeleine Castaing.

Fabric on the ceiling…absolutely dreamy.

Then of course, we have Details by Charles Faudree. One cannot go wrong with Charles.

Exquisite.

The only reason for this picture is the chubby pup. So cute!

Love, love, love.

I am completely in love with this chair.

Sighing. Do you have any books that inspire, excite and put bees in your bonnet? Let me know some of your favorites. Thank you for visiting. Have a grand day and remember to be kind to one another.

Oh, I like nothing better than to peruse a book of lovely pictures and you certainly selected some nice ones. I'll have to check out the World Of Madeleine Castaing.

I can tell you if you are a lover of French Design then The New Eighteenth-Century Style and The New Eighteenth-Century Home by Michele Lalande will be for you. Gorgeous photos and loads of inspiration!

I have a few decorating books by Bunny Williams and Betty Lou Phillips. I want to get some by Charles Faudree. I think your book looks very interesting and I may just have to look into one of those for myself! I love the picture of the chair you like too! Good taste!

Hello – I am with you! I LOVE books! That is why I am involved with our local library! There's nothing to compare to looking through a beautiful book – page by page. I have been wanting the Faudree book – will have to go a head and get it! Thank you so much for sharing with A Return To Loveliness!God Bless,Kathy

I love decorating books as well, and one of my favorite designers is Charles Faudree. I was fortunate enough to have met him in person a couple years ago, and he is just as charming as his books. Visiting from Wow Us Wednesdays, I'm your newest follower. Would love the follow-back if you get a chance. Hugs, Kim

I love books, one of the reasons I haven't brought a Kindle. Something about opening and turning the pages. Just love it. Your designs books makes one speechless. Most of my inspiring books are garden books. Otherwise I get BHG and Good Housekeeping, that give design inspiration but not a design book. Thanks for sharing these great pictures. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best Party!
